The newest restaurant is bringing its delicious soup dumplings to Orange County. With a 15,000 square foot dining space, the Irvine location is opening this February. And don’t worry OG fans, the new location will include a dumpling showcase kitchen as well as an indoor courtyard and sculpture garden.

“Din Tai Fung Irvine is our third restaurant in Orange County, where we’ve been able to build a loyal and
passionate guest base,” said Din Tai Fung CEO Albert Yang. “We are thrilled to be opening at the Irvine Spectrum Center, a space where community and culture collide. The Irvine community and dining scene offer incredible diversity and are very family-oriented – values we care about deeply at Din Tai Fung as a family business.”

The press release says it will bring over 300 new jobs to the local economy.

A reservation-only soft launch will kick open the doors on February 6, 2026. It will be open from 11 am to 9 pm daily with full menu service.
